Don't agree about Soap. It was a great show. The spin-off Benson wasn't too hot.

'Fairly Secret Army' (Ch4, mid-80's) starring Geoffrey Palmer ('Butterflies'). He plays a right-wing ex-military man setting up his own militia; loosely based on the character he played in 'The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin'.

I'm not sure how well-remembered 'Ripping Yarns' is compared to 'Fawlty Towers' but it's great.

There was a US thing I loved as a kid called 'Holmes & Yoyo'.

'Set of Six' by Rowland Rivron, where he plays all six grown up sextuplets in an episode each.

Not a sitcom but a comedy drama, 'Prospects' Ch.4 again, mid eighties, starring the late Gary Olsen and Brian Bovell.

Geoffrey Palmer played -along with Julie Dench- in 'As Time Goes Bye', not a bad show and two good actors.

Whenever I think of Geoffrey Palmer I always think of the Fawlty Towers episode, where he is a doctor who wants his sausages, and does a routine with Manuel for a dining table lol. Absolutely hilarious.

What! No Irishman, for the punchline? And Selwyn with his " Magic ah Morris"

"Prospects " was like a poor mans Minder . Two lads ducking and diving to make a living . Having said that , it wasn't bad
